Welcome
I am a writer. I have published a few freelance articles for magazines and have worked as a staff journalist at a weekly newspaper, but my real writing energy goes into a non-fiction narrative book I am writing. This page will be updated every month or two with new writings of mine from various sources. I also just started a blog, which I encourage you to check out here.

I'm quitting all my jobs and hitting the road. When I come back to Brooklyn (I am coming back), I plan to put more energy into writing. In the meantime, below is a sample of articles I have recently written.

A Sort Of Newsletter: Every couple of months I send out an email containing something I have written that doesn't clearly fit into any category or publication. It's probably some of the best stuff I write. Below is a sample of some recent ones, if your interested send me an email and I'll add your name to the list; the more the better.
The Day The World Stood Still | Life and Death and Cotopaxi | Voluntary Poverty
